Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 455

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I'm here to pay my dues. After all this time, haven't you shown any signs of getting pregnant yet?"

Xu Huizhen touched her flat stomach and said, "I'm still not pregnant."

Then he said, "Didn't you hand it in this afternoon? Hurry up and go to Huizhi's room; she must be getting impatient."

Xu Huizhi was still inside the main room and hadn't had time to leave when she exclaimed, "Sister, why did brother-in-law bring me along? Yuezhen should be the one who's anxious."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Today, we all achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations, and everyone gets a share."

He then pinned Xu Huizhen to the bed.

Xu Huizhi, who was outside, quickly took the children out and tried to coax them to sleep.

An hour later, He Yuzhu entered Xu Huizhi's room, channeled his energy, and began teaching her cultivation.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the west wing, Zhao Yuezhen was already sitting there, kowtowing and dozing off.

The room was decorated with bright red double happiness symbols, and the bedding was changed to resemble a wedding room.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Yuezhen came to her senses and quickly sat up straight.

He Yuzhu came up to her and put his arm around her from the side, saying, "Were you getting impatient waiting?"

"No, you're talking nonsense," Zhao Yuezhen said shyly.

He Yuzhu was very surprised and asked, "Why didn't you say I was a hooligan?"

Zhao Yuezhen blushed even more: "You're so naughty."

"Then let's drink the nuptial wine."

He picked up the two glasses of wine, handed one to her, then crossed his arms and drank their respective glasses.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through all this today."

Zhao Yuezhen sighed and said, "Now that I'm on your pirate ship and in the hands of a rogue like you, what else can I do but follow you to the bitter end?"

Although she spoke with a sense of helplessness, Zhao Yuezhen had a smile on her face.

Upon seeing the beautiful and charming face, He Yuzhu felt a surge of anxiety. Although he had already eaten several times that day, he suddenly realized he was hungry again.

Pulling Zhao Yuezhen down onto the bed, his body, honed by years of martial arts training, was incredibly resilient, and they made love four times in a single day.

However, Zhao Yuezhen still possessed ample physical strength, enough to contend with He Yuzhu.

The two fought back and forth for several rounds before Zhao Yuezhen narrowly lost in a single move.

He Yuzhu had just finished researching the Jeep project, and all that was left was to produce the parts according to the previous plan and then assemble them into brand new Jeeps.

He Yuzhu spent all her free time studying the secret manuals her master had taught her. Every night she would go home on time to study with her three sisters how to cultivate the dual cultivation path that combines yin and yang.

Chapter 325 What's the rush?

For three consecutive days, Xu Huizhen and Xu Huizhi received vital energy from He Yuzhu. Although their energy was slowly being depleted, He Yuzhu would replenish it again at night.

During the day, they practiced martial arts and learned Tai Chi with Zhao Yuezhen. This time, they were all extremely serious and did not do it perfunctorily.

That evening, He Yuzhu entered the house, reached out and lifted Xu Huizhen's clothes, placing his hand on her lower abdomen.

Xu Huizhen was a little shy and exclaimed, "What's the rush? Xiu'er is still here."

He Yuzhu turned his head and saw Xiuer staring at him with wide eyes.

Then I suddenly realized that I should avoid doing anything with my daughter from now on.

He explained, "Your mother has an upset stomach, and I'm examining her to see if she has any worms."

"Ah!" Xiu'er asked nervously, "Father, does Mother have worms in her belly?"

He Yuzhu threatened, "Your mother didn't wash her hands before eating, so there's a big worm in her stomach."

"I'm going to wash my hands."

Xiuer was terrified and ran out to find her aunt to help her wash her hands.

Xu Huizhen said a few words to him, then asked nervously, "Did your energy dissipate quickly today?"

Xu Huizhen can at most be considered an entry-level practitioner of Ming Jin (a type of martial arts), and she has no way of understanding the amount of Yuan Qi (vital energy) in her Dantian (lower abdomen).

Only when practicing boxing can one vaguely feel a faint aura within the body as the moves are executed; that should be the vital energy that He Yuzhu mentioned.

He Yuzhu carefully sensed it, and after a moment said, "I feel that the dissipation speed has slowed down a lot, which means it has adapted to your body and successfully retained itself."

Xu Huizhen asked in surprise, "So, I've become a master of Ming Jin too?"

"By standard, you have indeed entered the Ming Jin realm, which is the kind of entry-level skill, but you can't even be called a beginner. You can't beat anyone."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him, her heart filled with joy.

Even a beginner has entered the realm of Ming Jin, stepping into the level of cultivation. As long as one perseveres in training, one should be able to become a master like Zhao Yuezhen.

At the very least, one should not need anyone else's protection.

"Don't dampen my enthusiasm."

Xu Huizhen then asked anxiously, "Do you think I can become as good as you?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and decided not to dampen Xu Huizhen's enthusiasm.

You have your own interface; you gain experience by practicing, and once you have enough experience, you will naturally advance to the next level.

Xu Huizhen's talent is not outstanding, so she probably has no chance of reaching the level of "Baodan".

However, I can help him with dual cultivation and infuse him with vital energy. At the very least, he can enter the realm of hidden strength.

With Zhao Yuezhen as an example, He Yuzhu was confident that he could help both Xu Huizhen and her sister enter the Dark Force realm.

It takes several years to reach this stage, from hidden strength to transformed strength, and He Yuzhu is quite confident.

It's too early to talk about this now.

"I should be able to add my special technique, and you two sisters should be fine."

Xu Hui was overjoyed because He Yuzhu had previously told him that once you reached the Transformation Realm, you could live to be 130 or 140 years old.

He Yuzhu has now entered the Baodan stage, and it would be easy for him to live to be 200 years old.

But what about myself? Even if I live to be 80, I'll be old and gray by the time I'm 35, while He Yuzhu will still be a strong young man.

He was already grateful that his wife accepted him as her daughter-in-law, but they never had any more loving days together.

This is the natural order; there's nothing we can do about it if we're anxious.

But after He Yuzhu and Zhao Yuezhen slept together, they suddenly came up with this so-called dual cultivation method.

She was able to enter a state of cultivation. Even if it was just to delay her aging, Xu Huizhen would cultivate diligently. After all, everything else was fleeting, and only cultivation was the fundamental thing.

"Don't worry, I will definitely practice hard."

After He Yuzhu examined Xu Huizhen, he then summoned Xu Huizhi and examined her as well.

Although Xu Huizhi had lost much of her vital energy in her dantian, there were signs that it was being transformed into her own vital energy.

It seems that both sisters have succeeded, and He Yuzhu now realizes how significant the effects of yin-yang dual cultivation are.

"Can I do it too?" Xu Huizhi asked.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "That's fine, but you still need to practice diligently and not slack off recently."

Xu Huizhi nodded. Her sister had previously discussed and encouraged each other, emphasizing that they couldn't slack off. She said, "Don't worry, we will practice diligently."

Xu Huizhen suddenly asked, "Won't injecting vital energy into our bodies like this hinder your own cultivation?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I lost some things with you, but I can make up for it with Yuezhen."

He Yuzhu gave a brief explanation, letting the two sisters know the current situation.

He has indeed given his vital energy to the two sisters, but he can replenish it by cultivating with Zhao Yuezhen, and there will even be a surplus to increase his total vital energy.

The two women felt a little better. Although their own cultivation was important, He Yuzhu's cultivation was even more important, and they couldn't delay him.

As usual, after the children went to sleep at night, He Yuzhu first practiced dual cultivation with the two sisters, injecting some vital energy into each of them.

Then we went to Zhao Yuezhen's west wing.

The lights had been off long ago. He Yuzhu put his arm around Zhao Yuezhen from behind and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"

"No."

After saying that, I felt something was off, so I couldn't answer the question.

He Yuzhu quickly assumed a cultivation posture, focused his mind and calmed his breath, allowing the vital energy to circulate within both of them.

After circulating through multiple cycles, the vital energy returned to the dantian.

Zhao Yuezhen said happily, "Now it's certain that one night of dual cultivation is equivalent to 7 to 10 days of my cultivation."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "In this way, you will reach the Transformation Realm much faster."

"Yes, I estimate that it will take about a year to reach the peak of internal strength."

The main purpose of practicing Chinese martial arts is to strengthen one's vital energy and increase its total amount. When one reaches the point where there is no more room for further increase, it means that this stage has reached its peak.

With martial arts as a bond, Zhao Yuezhen's relationship with the two sisters developed rapidly.

They naturally became good friends, since both sisters knew that thanks to Zhao Yuezhen, He Yuzhu had made significant progress.
